LCE Perspectives: The 1,500% Growth Journey: Building, Scaling and Exiting a High-Growth Company

Some of the most valuable entrepreneurial lessons come from founders and leaders who have experienced the realities of scaling a business, which is why through LCE Perspectives, we bring together accomplished entrepreneurs and industry leaders to share the decisions, challenges, and defining moments that shape successful ventures.

In this session, held in collaboration with Denovonet, Nasser Chanda, CEO of Accounting Seed and former CEO of Paymerang, reflected on his journey as a founder that led to 1,500% revenue growth over eight years and the company’s successful acquisition by Corpay in 2024. Rather than focusing solely on outcomes, he unpacked the strategic choices and leadership lessons behind sustained business growth.

The discussion centred on three defining chapters of his journey:

• Building a go-to-market strategy that enabled sustainable growth.
• Navigating significant business challenges and the lessons they offered.
• Preparing for and executing a successful exit.

Throughout the session, Mr. Chanda also shared insights on leadership, resilience, and the importance of adapting strategy as a company evolves. The conversation concluded with an interactive Q&A, where participants explored topics ranging from scaling teams and maintaining focus to making strategic decisions during periods of rapid growth.

This session offers practical lessons for founders, start-up leaders, and anyone interested in understanding what it takes to build, scale, and successfully exit a high-growth company.
